Hi,

I did all the necessary setups menitoned in document to install Infosphere but I ran into following issue -

Bundled JRE is not binary compatible with host OS/Arch or it is corrupt. Testing bundled JRE failed.

How do I resolve this?

Thanks
Sumeet

Hi. Which OS exactly ? I had similar issues twice. The first time... a JRE was already installed and set in the path. The installer was using this once and it went wrong. Fixed by correcting the path. Second time, JRE was corrupted in the download (or something similar I assume). I downloaded the IBM JRE according to the IS 8 prereqs. IBM JRE is free and available on the IBM website

Hope it helps and good luck!

Hi Martin,

The OS information -

uname -a
SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_137138-09 i86pc i386 i86pc

Do I have to setup the Path for JRE?

One more thing which I came to know just know - The IS 8 is only meant for SUN OS 5.10 sparc. Isn't that wierd?

So I dont know what to do in that case. Only option left is to reinstall Solaris 10.

Thanks
Sumeet

Download the correct JRE from IBM, like Martin advised.

I searched on IBM site..but I wasnt able to locate IBM JRE.

So I got it from sun/oracle site and installed the JDK and JRE both.

Even after all this I am still getting the saem error -

Code: Select all

                                        Bundled JRE is not binary compatible wit
h host OS/Arch or it is corrupt.  Testing bundled JRE failed.
What should I do now?

Thanks

You need the correct JRE for Information Server - not something from Sun or Oracle. Involve your support provider if you can not find it yourself.

Information Server uses it's own JRE that was installed with the product.

Go look in your dsenv settings and you will see the path for it.

I think you may have downloaded the wrong Information Server product for your OS.

Are you sure that your version of OS is officially supported with that version of Information Server?

*Edited*

You definitely need to be on Solaris 9 or Solaris 10.

See this link for requirements (check out the "Sun" tab)

System requirements for IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... 8816#opsys

I also suggest you download and read the Planning, Installation and Configuration Guide from this link, it has a lot of info on configuring Solaris.

IBM InfoSphere Product Documentation for Version 8.5
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg27008803

If you are on the correct release - then they shipped the right JRE with the product (as Ray said) you need to insure that all environment variables are set correctly to reference the JRE that came with IIS.

Actually, Andy, SunOS 5.10 is Solaris 10. So that is not the issue. The issue is using the correct JRE which might, in turn, end up being a PATH or CLASSPATH issue.
